A fun week

Ben, living the good life.  

On this particular trip to the park there was a family with FOUR boys.  Ben was having a blast running after them and I especially enjoyed when the littlest boy (probably 3.5 or 4) yelled to him, "Come on, Baby!!" inviting Ben to come with them.  It's times like this where I feel the urge to give Ben a sibling.  

(And then that urge quickly passes) :)

Stomping flowers in the back yard.

Since our garbage can reeked of fish and shit, I took it upon myself to hose it down and disinfect it.  Ben constantly yelled

"I TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" until I finally handed over the hose.  It was hilarious.  Needless to say, he ended up soaked.

At the park.  Greg and I took turns running on the Burke Gilman Trail and playing with Ben.

Hugs for Violet!

Trying to get a group shot with three kiddos is always a fun challenge.  It took 30 pics but we managed to (sort of) get one.

Ben's new game.  No idea why he must remove ALL of the pillows off the couch before falling back onto the seat cushions, but that's his jam.

Lately, and all the time, I will walk into a room to find Ben lying flat on the floor to get eye-level with his trucks as he pushes them around him.  He will be yelling "garbage truck comingggggggggggggggg, dump truck cominggggggggggggggg" (from his book) and it's just about the cutest thing ever.

He also has been into kicking them down the hallway:

Lining them up nicely by the front window before ramming them all into one another :)

His other favorite game lately is to drive them up the yoga mat ramp and drop them onto the floor.
